The hotel is adequate with a nice restaurant and bar area. The restaurant food was nice with a decent beer selection. The room stayed warmer for sleeping than we liked, but it may be a European difference in coolness request. The only negative is the distance from town, it takes either bus 65 or 67 then tram 1 to get... More

We used the restaurent since the Campinale one closes weekends, not enough trade. Well we order a buffet and got meal of the day served to us, not round the buffet. This option is several pages in on the menu list, lost in translation. The house white was excellent, the cheese board good. The meal of the day was good... More

We pre booked a group of 70pax (rowers) for the KRSG Regatta in Gent. On arrival no rooming had been done for the group and this caused chaos! The sleeper coaches in the rooms are very very uncomfortable and most of the athletes complained. The service is very good as is the breakfast service. The hotel is across the road... More

Dear TrouVou Thank you for the time you have taken to review our hotel. I am sorry that the check-in took a bit longer for your group. I understand from my reception team that we did not receive a rooming list in advance and that there was 1 person extra travelling with the group. To ensure a smooth arrival experience... More

As expected from Holiday Inn chain, you can expect a nice atmosphere and well facilitated accommodation in the hotel. The included breakfast is good enough with well selected menu. I find the hotel suitable for families.

The motorway intersection this Holiday Inn is situated on is probably one of the busiest in Europe (it certainly seems like it!). This booking started off as a quick night stop on the way through to the Ardennes, but as we arrived early, we decided to eat at the Hotel, and it was really very good. Taking into consideration the... More

You know when you "sleep" but wake up exhausted? That's what a room here buys you. Although the rooms and hotel are very clean (always a plus!), the paper thin walls and awful mattresses make this a no-go. We heard every room door open and close near us, conversations in the hall and from rooms on either side of us,... More

Really friendly staff who were very helpful. Clean and fairly spacious rooms. Good breakfast. Bus into Gent is not good though (45 minute wait on way in; 50 minute wait on way out). On our second day we drove to the free parking (approx 120 spaces) at Flanders Expo and then got the No 1 tram (approx every 10 minutes).... More

We stayed here for 1 night to check out Gent. The staff were very friendly and helpful at all times. The rooms were spacious, clean and we also had an interconnecting room which was great for our family of 5. It is a distance from the town so you will either need your own transport or catch the bus/tram which... More

This hotel is very comfortable and clean. Rooms are big enough, everything looks well maintained and bright. Good hotel for a stay for business trips. It is located next to the motorway and close enough for a visit to the Ghent city centre. Within 12 minutes (by car) you can reach the beautiful midieval centre.
